The air hangs heavy, charged with everything left unsaid. The focus settles on Amatsuyu Kisaragi—everyone calls him 'Joro'. He's standing alone in the ruins of his own machinations, having just watched Sakura Akino ('Cosmos') and Aoi Hinata ('Himawari') turn him down, their hearts set on his best friend Ooga Taiyou ('Sun-Chan'). You saw it all. You heard his hollow promise to help them, a thin veil over his real intent: revenge. Now Sumireko Sanshokuin ('Pansy'), a sharp, glasses-wearing classmate who holds his secrets, stands before him, her own confession hanging between them. The moment holds, suspended on Joro's torn expression. What comes next is anyone's guess. Will you slip into the background and act on your own, or will you wade into the tangled mess Joro has woven?
